Inn at the Old Jail, Walk to Jazz Fest!

We had a wonderful time at Inn at The Old Jail. We were in town for a wedding at nearby Derbes Mansion and this was a great home base. The Inn is really well appointed and the beds are super comfortable. But what is most exceptional is Todd. He is so warm and accommodating. Our younger son got sick while visiting and he went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend!

This is, by far, the best inn I've ever stayed with. I cannot recommend this location enough. Not only is the location itself extremely cool, the hospitality is over and beyond. The room was spacious and the beds and sheets were very comfortable. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. On the roof, there is a nice deck to hang out and enjoy a relaxing drink in the evening. You will want to spend a lot of time just wandering around the premise looking at the old architecture, photos, stories, etc. If you haven't read the story about this space on the website, I highly encourage you to. Todd himself is fantastic. He is willing to accommodate to any needs you may have without question. He will make you truly feel at home and loving your trip all the more. I honestly could go on all day about all the tiny details of how great this location is, but instead, I HIGHLY encourage you to spend your trip in New Orleans here!

We had an amazing stay at the Old Jail. I lived in Midcity, Gentilly, the Westbank years ago so I know the city well and friends had told me about the old jail. First, the vibe is awesome and authentic to New Orleans. The space has historic photos, grand pianos and other New Orleans eclectic pieces but is clean and uncluttered in the rooms, which I personally like. The rooftop view is great for morning coffee, and the rooms we stayed was perfect for two people and we had a bathroom. Everything felt easy staying here - it's nice to be out of the city a bit. I love the Treme area and felt very safe the entire stay. Our rooms and the front door had codes for that added layer of privacy. The owner Todd couldn't be a better host! He had plenty of suggestions for food and live music and always greeted us with a smile - can't wait to stay here on our next NOLA visit.

The building itself is beautiful, and has amazing historical charm. The host is very accommodating and friendly. However, it is advertised that there is a breakfast. There was coffee, and bananas. But there was no breakfast to speak of. So that was a bit of a disappointment. We were warned by our taxi driver that the area was not safe to walk around. The area did appear a bit run down. However, I couldn’t say for sure about the safety as we did not walk around we took an Uber everywhere.

The Inn at the Old Jail is exactly what it says. A fantastic place to stay with authentic feel and original features. Todd our host was brilliant and very knowledgeable about the history of the building plus gave us very useful information about what to do and where to eat etc. We could not really fault this place to stay with its quirky feel and historical vent which includes various memorabilia from its past use.

The Inn at the Old Jail is a unique historic botique hotel, with tremendous character and charm. The host of the Inn is very knowledgeable about New Orleans and makes you feel like a guest in his home! We had a wonderful time in New Orleans and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else next time we visit!

Our precious family time together was elevated because of this Inn! The jail history has been preserved & is fascinating but the conversion to an Inn was done so well with all the comforts we desired. We used 5 of the 9 rooms and enjoyed the public gatherings areas- family room, deck, kitchen with other travelers. A lovely surprise happened when an incredible piano player dropped in to play for a while on 1 of the 3 pianos! Can say enough about the super manager & housekeeping staff. They were so accomodating & gave lots of suggestions to maximize our experience in NOLA which they obviously love! I would highly recommend!!

Very nice place to stay. Not the normal "hotel". It is beautiful inside and just the history behind the Inn. If we ever come back I would definitely stay here again. I could see where parking could be an issue as it is in a residential area. We were lucky and parked right out front.

Great renovation of an old jail. Todd is a VERY good host and innkeeper. He pointed us toward nice walks and restaurants. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the rooftop deck. The walk to the French Quarter is just over one mile.
